Hi,

mail/pine4/pkg/PLIST is creating pine.conf using the following two lines:

  @exec %D/bin/pine -P %D/etc/pine.conf -conf >%D/etc/pine.conf.tmp
  @exec /bin/mv %D/etc/pine.conf.tmp %D/etc/pine.conf

I'm not sure what the -P option of pine does but this raises the
following questions:

(1) Does it preserve the user's existing pine.conf?  (I assume it
    does, but just checking.)

(2) What would be an acceptable way of removing it on deinstallation?
    Is there a way to determine whether the user modified it to be
    something other than the "default" pine.conf?  (If it is modified,
    it shouldn't be removed -- if it is not, then it can safely be
    removed, since a new installation will regenerate it properly.)

Thanks,
Satoshi
